In a telling slip-up, a MySpace moderator has admitted that it is
MySpace.com policy to censor and filter out posts containing links
to the Prison Planet.com website, adding that the MySpace server automatically
blocks such information.

Earlier this week MySpace was accused of censoring information pertaining
to Ron Paul's presidential campaign but the social networking cite
denied the allegations and later featured Paul's profile on their
main page.

But a deliberate policy to block Prison Planet.com has been exposed
after a moderator unwittingly admitted the fact that Alex Jones' Prison
Planet website is filtered out from messageboards and bulletin posts.

In a discussion
thread, a MySpace user complained that his Ron Paul post had been
censored, to which a MySpace moderator responded, "Ron Paul wasn't
being censored, it was the prisonplanet.com part of the message that
was being filtered out."

The moderator later clarifies that it was beyond his control and
that "prisonplanet.com" is on a list of URL's that are automatically
blocked by MySpace's servers. The screenshot can be viewed below.

To be clear, moderators are not in the employ of MySpace but are
invited to monitor message threads and delete off-topic material.
The filtering of prison planet.com was not an act of any moderator
but forms a deliberate policy on behalf of MySpace.

The excuse given is that prison planet.com is used so many times
that MySpace's servers automatically classify it as spam and ban it
- but this is neither justified or believable. We have managed multiple
MySpace accounts for well over a year and continually are forced to
delete the same spam advertising and assorted trash that repeatedly
finds its way to our inbox and on our profile comment board.

Why is this kind of material left alone and yet prison planet is
banned?

This followed
media reports in January 2006, shortly after Neo-Con ideologue
Murdoch had bought the company for $580 million, concerning the fact
that MySpace was deliberately blocking URL's from rival websites and
others they simply didn't like. When thousands complained on a messageboard,
MySpace simply shut down the messageboard and pretended it was a technical
error.

If MySpace and Rupert Murdoch are that frightened of websites like
Prison Planet threatening the corporate interests that sustain them,
as with the bury
brigade at Digg, fair enough - we have no divine right to appear
on your website - but don't lie to the people and pretend you are
some kind of online democracy where free speech is encouraged and
permitted - because it's simply not true.

No doubt they will also claim that the censorship of Prison Planet.com
- one of the foremost Internet critics of the same gaggle of Neo-Cons
that Rupert Murdoch fronts for, is just a mistake or a technicality.
